"I added some red pepper flakes & fresh garlic as other reviewers suggested, which added dimension to the flavor. Also, I started with just 1 1/2 cup of chicken stock, which was sufficient for 6 chicken breasts. I liked the taste with the revisions I made. But the apricots didn't "melt" down. They remained as hard chunks. Based on the previous reviews, I think instead of adding dried apricots, apricot preserves would work better. The preserves would melt and there would be an apricot flavor though out.

"This recipe is very similar to one in "The Cake Mix Doctor". That cookbook uses cake mixes as the foundation for all the recipes, perfect for Sandra Lee lovers. I have made that recipe numerous times to great accolades each time. Using that recipe as guide, I'd try adding almond extract instead of the lemon extract to the sugar cookie dough. Try sprinkling white chocolate chips onto of the raspberry jam.
